Silly newbie thinking again...

[EagleTa2]

so, tonight I will be placing my initial order with WL to begin my DIY adventure.. Ive decided to order TFA concentrate flavors where possible...for the beginning, Im planning on single flavor mixes so I can get used to measuring and the whole process.
I say this now... but I know Ill be mixing things together probably before Im ready.

I tend to like fruity vapes...juicy peach, pear, canteloupe, apple, etc. I also like rich coffee vapes so I may fiddle with them also. I know the coffee and richer flavors could benefit from steeping but will the fruity flavors need steeping? if so, what is recommended?

Also, regarding the "base mix" I am going for a 50/50 vg/pg mix with varying nic levels from 9-18mg but will probably settle at 12. Ive been vaping 18 since I started but have been feeling a little nic sick lately so considering dropping it. I plan to mix batches of no more than 10ml to start... would I be wise to mixnup about 30 ml of unflavored at 12 mg and decant 9ml of that to a bottle and then add 1ml of flavor? (10%) or would it be better to just mix the 10ml batch from scratch each time?

just looking for some guidance....Im definitely looking forward to making my own juice and not spending so much $$$

thanks!

All the TFA Fruit/Candy flavors i have taste just like the name at 5%. I would start there before going to 10%. Tutti Fruity and Jolly Grape, juice Fruit are good, But they will take over the tank you put them in. At least I cant figure out how to get the flavor out.

If you mix up 12mg premixed base you will have 9mg with 10% flavor in 10ml, 7mg in 20ml and so on.

That's what I thought...I'll just mix up virgin batches each time...

I love TFA Juicy Peach at about 8 to 10%.
My favorite is 5% Juicy peach with 7% cantaloupe plus 2 drops ethyl malitol and 2 drops lemon juice for 10ml. I call it Peachaloupe and it is my all day vape.

If your using the Juice me up calutator. Under tools their is a combining nic section. You can see if you add X to Y solution then z will be 15% nic.

For example: I had some nasty peach that was vendor made. I think it was over flavored. It was 18 mg/ml nic. I took 8 ml of it and added two ml to it and the resulting juice was 14.40 nic. I don't care that the nic is
a little lower if the juice is vapabe because before it was draino worthy

Best Peach I've ever had:
Peach Super Concentrated Flavor | Alcohol Based Flavoring - E Cig : Best Ejuice | Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes

I usually mix up a 1000ml batch of 50/50 11mg base using 100mg nic, PG and VG. I decant into 20ml bottles and add flavor. Flavors can vary from 1% to 5% (I use the SC flavors from VZ) so the effect on nic level is negligible. I like to vape closer to 10mg anyway, so it's all good.

It would be a shame to mix 30ml of something awful stick with 10ml or 5ml starter batches.

I haven't had this problem, but a answer from someone more experienced maybe?

OK, THAT /\ sounds interesting. Now I'm kicking myself for not thinking of cantaloupe and peach the last time I had the peach out.

One of the local B&Ms have a house flavor that they call PCP. I believe it is a combo of pear, cantaloupe, and peach. Its definitely something I will want to try one day. If anyone has a recipe for that, I'd sure appreciate it... its a long shot for sure.

I'm definitely going to try the peachaloupe mentioned earlier...thanks for that recipe!
what does the lemon juice do? I never thought of adding an "organic" element like lemon or lime juice or vinegar. Can someone clear me in on what these do?

Thanks,
Geo

Eagle, there is a long thread on the subject. I have it linked in my butterfly farts and unicorn tears blog.
